This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every persons position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the FAQ and RULES.

No. I find that idea disturbing at best. I don't understand it. When the Feds try to rule on Health Care Conservatives scream that our rights are being swept under the rug. Yet those same Conservatives turn around and are willing to give the Feds to arrest anyone "suspicious" and claim that it's in our general interest.

No one's talking about arresting anyone. I'm only suggesting that people who fit acertain profile be looked at alot closer.

When you stop someone with any form of authority, at an airport for example, it is arresting.

Hasan displayed plenty of warning signs. But, everyone is so damn afraid of being labeled a racist, that no one had the guts to say anything.

Who was damn afraid?

We don't need racial profiling. What we need is law enforcement, intelligence, and command staff who are actually willing to take tip offs seriously.

Racial profiling could have been a last line of defense. Of course we don't need it... in fact, let's throw out a few more lines of defense to make flying more interesting... and put that money towards government health care. Because...

...we need government health care. My... what a Bang! up job they are going to do for us.

Just think, our intel services have some of the very best and brightest. You think that's what we'll get running guh-ment health scare? LOL.
